Description
|
BSD is a direct descendant of the Unix operating system. BSD stands for
Berkeley Software design and dates back to work done by Sun Microsystems
co-founder Bill Joy to create the first free version of Unix when he was at
Berkeley in the late 1970s. Later a group of Berkeley computer scientists
added to his work, eventually beginning a project called 386BSD designed
to rewrite Unix so it could be used on a PC with Intel chips. After Berkeley
stopped funding the effort, BSD split off in several directions. AT&T also
caused a lot of problems for BSD in 1993 when they hit BSD with a copyright
lawsuit. BSD recovered and runs most of the high traffic sites on the Internet.
Unlike Linux, BSD is targeted more towards the server.
FreeBSD is an advanced BSD UNIX operating system for the Intel compatible
(x86), DEC Alpha, and PC-98 architectures. FreeBSD's claim to fame is
robust networking which makes it ideal Internet or Intranet server.
The NetBSD project has been to make the base OS extremely portable. This
has resulted in NetBSD being ported to a large number of hardware platforms.
Another derivative, OpenBSD, is supposed to be the most secure operating
system in the world.
